              LOYOLA MAROON VOL. XLVI Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 3, 1969 No. 5 Council requests action on motion Ralph Ada mo discusses proposal The Student Council passed a motion Tuesday requesting that two students be seated as members on the Board of Regents and the Board of Directors. This request is being submitted directly to the boards. The motion further calls on the boards to reply, at latest, by the next scheduled board meetings. The motion, is part of a concurrent resolution drawn up by members of the council and the Executive Committee of the University Senate, according to Ralph Adamo, A&S senior. Adamo, who offered the motion to the council, said that the Senate would add "weight" to the council's attempt to gain student representation on the Board of Regents and the Board of Directors. University Senate proponents of the concurrent resolution were supposed to have offered a motion designed to seat two lay faculty members on each of the boards, according to Adamo. There was much disagreement by council members concerning this motion. At one point the argument was so heated that a brief period of name-calling was displayed. There were two basic objections to passing the motion. On one hand the motion invalidated the efforts of a fact-finding committee established last week to provide the council with more information concerning the Board of Regents and the Board of Directors. This motion caused dissent among some council members. On the other hand, Lawrence McGarrell, S.J., Music junior, expressing the feelings of some council members said the motion is a "waste of the Student Council's time." According to McGarrell, chairman of the fact-finding committee established last week, only Jesuits at Loyola can serve as full-fledged members of the Board of Directors. McGarrell said the fact-finding committee learned that "changes" were in the making for the organizational aspects of the Board of Directors and that the council would eventually be in a better bargaining position with the administration to gain student representation. Proponents of Adamo's motion argued for immediate council action. Ron Legendre, A&S senior, said that it was time for the council to "get off its ass and get into the power structure of the school." Another member expressed frustration with administrative attempts to help the students. He called for action because he said he felt "promises don't mean anything around this place (Loyola)." Proponents of the motion cited the cancellation of the Computer Science degree and the imposition of this year's university fee, as instruments of argumentation. There was a division of the house on the vote to pass or defeat the motion. A roll call vote showed that the motion passed with 14 in favor and 10 opposed. There were two abstentions. SC President Billy Guste expressed strong disapproval of administrative action last week concerning student appointees to the Student Affairs Policy Advisory Committee (SAPAC). The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., appointed two students to serve on SAPAC from a list of recommended students submitted to him by Dr. Frank VVagar, Dean of Students. Guste said that it was his "understanding" that SAPAC members would come from the Student Council. Last week the council elected two students to serve on SAPAC, but apparently the students will not serve because, according to Guste, Father Jolley's appointments are "sanctioned" by the document on Student Rights and Freedoms. Guste said this conflict is the product of "faulty communication" between himself and Dr. Wagar. However, he also said he felt that Dr. Wagar "did not act fairly" in this matter. While expressing his disapproval Guste also expressed fear that he could be "putting his head on the chopping block" for speaking unkindly of Dr. Wagar's actions. He said this fear was a result of Dr. Wagar's display of "Arab arrogance" during recently held meetings between the two men. Loyola may back moratorium Student, faculty support needed The university administration is considering supporting the national war moratorium day Oct. 15, but the type of support will be determined by the amount of support shown by students and faculty. The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., who met with freshman Rick Anderson to discuss calling off classes on the 15th, said he is sympathetic and would judge what to do by the amount of student-faculty support indicated. "I'm not sure if we would call off classes or not count cuts on that day or what," Father Jolley said, "but I am sympathetic towards something being done." The movement is national and was initiated by the New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. This day of protest is to be one of a series, with march on Washington, D.C., sheduled for Nov. 15. John Aselage, A&S freshman who is the leader of the Loyola Students for Peace (LSP) said petitions have been circulated through both the girls and boys dorm during the week. He said petition stations have also been set up in Danna Center, Marquette Hall and the Science Complex in order that more students may be reached. He said these stations will be opened today and Monday. The Rev. Joseph Tetlow, S.J., circulated a petition among faculty members during the week to get their support for calling off classes on the 15th. The matter was also scheduled to be brought before the University Faculty Senate yesterday in an attempt to get that body's endorsement. The petitions will be presented to Father Jolley as soon as possible, according to Aselage, and he will then make a decision. Memorial Services Aselage said various activities protesting the war will be held Oct. 15 whether classes are called off or not. "If the day is not declared an official university holiday, we hope faculty members will call off classes or not count cuts or call in sick," said Aselage. He said this was the original plan of the national movement, but that he felt it would be better to try to get the administration's backing first. Aselage said that the LSP committee, along with Father Tetlow, has planned a memorial service on the morning of the 15th in the horseshoe in front of Marquette Hall. He said Father Tetlow will deliver a plea for peace, while the services will center around a memorial for those who have died in Vietnam, especially those from the New Orleans area. Several speakers from the university are scheduled after the services. Aselage said there is a possibility that speakers from other areas of the country may also be on hand to speak. March to Federal Building Tentative plans for the afternoon include a march up Freret St. to the Federal Building on Loyola Ave. Aselage said he has been in touch with student organizers at Tulane and that the two universities will possibly make the march together. He said he would try to get support from Dominican College and a couple of the high schools in the area. Marchers will probably assemble about 1:30 and the march should reach the Federal Bulding at 4:30 when federal employees are getting off work. Ariel Campos, law school senior and member of the city-wide Steering Committee supporting the day-long moratorium, said groups from Louisiana State University in New Orleans (LSUNO) and Sothern University in New Orleans (SUNO) are also scheduled to meet at the Federal Building at 4:30. From the Federal Building, a march is scheduled up Loyola Ave. to Canal St., down Canal to Royal St. and up Royal to the old Federal Court House in the 400 block of Royal. There the marchers will rest before moving to Jackson Square for a final rally, which will include speakers and a rock concert. Campos said many other city groups, such as the Council of Churches and the Women's Strike for Peace, will be taking part in the march. "The marchers will represent all segments of the population," said Campos. He said the Steering Committee is working on getting a parade permit, but added, "Even if we do not get a permit, we're going ahead with plans for the march." Aselage said the program will continue after Oct. 15, but that this day will be used to focus attention on anti-war sentiment in the United States and locally. "We hope to get people with silent feelings against the war to express themselves on this day of moratorium," said Aselage. He said he hopes to develop student interest at Loyola by the use of posters, leaflets and petition stations. Aselage also mentioned a forum being presented by the Loyola Student Historical Association Thursday night in rooms A,B, and C of Danna Center. FATHER JOLLEY AMATEUR ARTISTS-Students put the finishing touches on the canvas provided for the Paint-In which was one of the activities offered by the Student Union during Union Week. NOR editorial board to be appointed soon By GARY ATKINS (Maroon Managing Editor) An editorial board for the New Orleans Review (NOR) will be appointed within the next few weeks, according to Miller Williams, editor of the NOR. The Review is a literary and non-fiction magazine that was begun by Loyola last year. The NOR was involved in two controversies this past summer: the first arose when the magazine was not included in this year's budget and was cancelled; the second was when the NOR's printer returned copy it considered questionable. The second controversy served as a catalyst for the creation of an editorial board which Williams said he had been asking for since the NOR was first established. "At the time of the establishment of the NOR," Williams said, "I requested an editorial board which would be advisory, help set policy and aid the editor in his responsibility in accepting or rejecting manuscripts." The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., said the board would contain persons both inside and outside the university whose "literary judgment and reputation is high enough to say what types of things Loyola should or shouldn't publish." Dr. John Christman, vice president for research and the administrator to whom responsibility for the NOR was assigned, said he was submitting a list including both student and faculty names to Father Jolley for consideration of appointment. The immediate problem during the summer began when the NOR's printer, American Yearbook Company, returned the galley proofs of the fourth issue to Williams because of some questionable copy. Williams said he told the printer that it was not the printer's responsibility to delete material they considered improper and that the magazine would be taken to another company. Williams said the printer then called Father Jolley and sent the copy to him. Williams said that the fourth issue was then delayed for study. In September, Father Jolley appointed an ad hoc committee of faculty to read the questioned material to see if it was objectionable. Williams meanwhile was threatening to resign as editor if the magazine was not returned generally intact. "Nine weeks after the journal was pulled from the presses," he said, "it was returned to the editor essentially intact. One short story which was not solidly scheduled for the fourth issue anyway will be discussed with the new editorial board before the fifth issue is firmed up." Williams said he would like to see the board composed of both Jesuit and lay faculty, students and non-Loyola people. He said the board would help "cast a critical eye over the Regents elect four as new members Four new members have been elected to the Board of Regents, according to Murray C. Fincher, board chairman. They are Bishop Harold E. Perry, Clyde Hendrix Jr., Harold S. Dey, and Dr. Norman C. Francis, all of New Orleans. The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., hailed the new members as "men of achievement who bring to the board knowledge and experience in areas that are important to the advancement of Loyola." "The Board of Regents has rehdered important service to the university through its counsel and leadership. Our distinguished new members will help the board to sustain its record of service to the university and the community." The new members were added to the board to widen the involvement of the community in the university's affairs, said Father Jolley. No students were elected to the board because the charter of the board does not provide for students to be on the board, said Father Jolley. Bishop Perry was named auxiliary bishop of New Orleans in 1965. A native of Lake Charles, he previously served as provincial superior of the Society of the Divine Word, and for six years was rector of the society's seminary at Bay St. Louis, Miss. The Bishop also serves as archdiocesan coordinator of higher studies, and is on the board of trustees of Xavier University. A graduate of Auburn and Columbia universities, Hendrix is president of the Hibernia National Bank of New Orleans. He also serves as director of International Trade Mart, and Mutual Savings Life Insurance Co., in his hometown of Decatur, Ala. Dey, a Loyola graduate and native Orleanian, is a partner in the firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., certified public accountants. He is a member of the American Institute of CPA's and served as president of the Louisiana CPA's. He holds offices in the Louisiana Foundation of Privately Supported Colleges and Universities, and the Serra Club, and has served on several Loyola committees. A graduate of Xavier University, and the Loyola School of Law, Dr. Francis is president of Xavier. He is a native of Lafayette, and has spent most of his adult life at Xavier, holding a number of executive positions before becoming president. HAROLD S. DEY CLYDE HENDRIX JR DR. NORMAN C.
